The Jackson city administration has initiated an employee “reorganization” plan in which the current unionized supervisory positions are being eliminated and renamed and reclassified as non-union management positions. The reorganization also includes two union executive assistant positions in the main administration office which also will be switched from union to non-union jobs.

The Oak Hill Village Council decided to make a major security investment in the village-owned impound lot by accepting purchasing weight cameras and four floodlights to monitor the facility. This was announced at Council’s most recent meeting on Tuesday evening, May 26.
